Summary:

The 58078 zip code area of West Fargo, North Dakota is home to 10 elementary schools that are part of the West Fargo 6 school district. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade, with the exception of the Early Childhood Center, which serves pre-kindergarten students. The district is ranked 16th out of 23 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the schools in this area, Brooks Harbor Elementary School stands out as the highest-ranking, at 19th out of 53 North Dakota elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year. It also has the highest proficiency rates in math (54%) and reading (44%) for the 2024-2025 school year, outperforming the district and state averages. Legacy Elementary School is another standout, ranking 8th out of 48 North Dakota elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It also has the second-highest proficiency rates in math (57%) and reading (51%) for the 2023-2024 school year.

However, the data also reveals some concerning trends, such as a consistent 20% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the wide range in free and reduced lunch rates, from 11.9% at Legacy Elementary to 70.47% at L.E. Berger Elementary, suggests potential equity issues within the district.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only.
